Conor McGregor: UFC superstar's London Q&A CANCELLED

McGregor, the UFC lightweight champion was due to take part in a Q&A session at the O2 Arena's Indigo on Saturday evening.

An Evening with Conor McGregor - Up Close and Personal was set to be attended by hundreds of the UFC superstar's adoring fans, some of whom had paid close to £1,100 to have a meet and greet with the biggest combat sports star on the planet.

However, McGregor's first public appearance in the capital since the final leg of the whirlwind press tour to promote his August 26 boxing with Floyd Mayweather Jr has been axed.

Earlier today, multiple sources revealed to Starsport that the intimate Q&A, which was meant to be chaired by former UFC welterweight Dan Hardy, has been called off.

At this moment in time, the cause for the event's cancellation is unknown.

Starsport has reached out to McGregor's team for comment.

It's understood that fans who have purchased tickets for the event will be entitled to a full refund.

The Notorious' head coach, John Kavanagh, touched on the matter in his most recent column for The 42ie and hinted that we won't see 'Mystic Mac' back in action until early 2018.

"It’s probably a little late in the day to realistically expect another fight before the end of the year, because even after this hiatus is over, a lot goes into the planning and execution of a training camp at our level," Kavanagh wrote.
